ABOUT KRISHNA Krishna is a central deity of Hinduism and above all the most revered and popular of the Hindu deities. Krishna is one of the avatars of Vishnu (one of the names of Divinity). Krishna is also known as Govinda, Mukunda or Vasudeva and is the subject of various representations in his various stages (child-god, prankster, model lover, divine hero or supreme being). Its most common representations are a boy eating butter, a young man playing the flute, a young man accompanied by Radha, a handsome young man accompanied by several young women or an elderly man giving directions and guidance. Krishna-boy stealing butter Various explanations are given for this representation of Krishna, although the explanation must lie in the sum of all these reasons: – Some of his friends were poor and to satisfy the hunger of his friends, he stole the butter they had kept from the Gopis. – Some members of the family of the Gopis thought that the child was a simple peasant, however many Gopis had a great devotion to Krishna. Though forbidden to show their devotion to Krishna, but secretly during the preparation of butter they prayed to Krishna to accept their offerings as a token of love. Some butter pots were left and kept in the hope that their prayers would come true. – By stealing the butter, Krishna also stole their hearts. By stealing the butter, Krishna answered their prayers and made them think of him constantly. – Butter represents the fruit of effort. Butter is the end result of a long process of monitoring and treating the cow. Butter is the physical manifestation of the efforts that each one makes during his life. In this sense, everyone is entitled to this effort, to this journey, but the result of the effort belongs only to the Supreme Being. By stealing the butter, Krishna reminds us that all final results belong to God alone.
